Terry Dudley Identified After Deadly Twin Falls In-N-Out Shooting Leaves Community Shocked

 A peaceful afternoon near a newly opened Twin Falls restaurant turned into a scene of fear and tragedy when gunfire erupted, leaving multiple people dead and others injured. Among those affected was Terry Dudley, who was identified as one of the victims wounded in the deadly shooting near the In-N-Out Burger on Saturday.

According to information released by Dudley’s employer, he was among those injured during the attack. A statement from the company asked the public to keep Dudley in their thoughts and prayers following the violence. Those close to him shared that Dudley had been charging his Tesla vehicle when he was struck by gunfire during the incident.

The shooting unfolded shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday near the In-N-Out Burger location in Twin Falls, which had recently celebrated its grand opening on July 24. Authorities said officers from multiple agencies responded quickly after receiving reports of an active shooter in the area. The emergency response included local, state, and federal personnel working to secure the scene and protect the public.

During an evening news conference, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks confirmed that three people were killed and two others were injured in the shooting. The injured victims were transported to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center for treatment. Officials have not yet released the identities of the other victims involved, as investigators continue working to gather additional information.

Witnesses described a chaotic and frightening scene as people nearby attempted to escape the gunfire. Authorities said investigators are reviewing video footage, collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses to understand the full sequence of events. Reports from the scene included descriptions of a suspect carrying an AR-style rifle, though officials continue verifying details as part of the investigation.

The suspected shooter was also killed during the incident, according to authorities. Police have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding the suspect’s death or confirmed whether it involved law enforcement, another armed individual, or another cause. Chief Hicks stated that the threat to the community had ended after the suspect was no longer considered a danger.

Several agencies are assisting with the investigation, including the Twin Falls Police Department, Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho State Police, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Officials temporarily issued a shelter-in-place order during the response, which was later lifted after authorities determined there was no continuing threat. Roads near the area were closed while investigators processed the scene.

As the investigation continues, the Twin Falls community is left mourning the lives affected by the violence. Friends, coworkers, and loved ones of Terry Dudley are waiting for more answers while remembering the impact he made on those around him.
